[android-developers] Re: How to mark an element visually in ListView the user clicked on?

Thanks, I was looking for this 'activated' state. The methods and
states related to "selecting" elements from the list completely
confused me. It turned out that the in ListView's context, selecting
an element means that the user navigates the focus around in the list
with the d-pad... And yes, I'm using Honeycomb, so my list needs to
stay on screen, and display the previously selected element.

So currently I'm setting the selected element's view activated, and
assigned a custom selector with a distinct background color for the
activated state for the row's layout.
